Thrift Overreaches Itself.

An aged party lived in the out
skirts of q great city-presumably
Chicago, the only real great one. He
had humble home, although he was
exceedingly Well off, having consider
able gold coin slowed away in stock
ings and tin boxes He was thrifty
old party, and averse to expenditure
for such unnecessary things as food,
clothing, etc. He regarded three
square meals day as the widest dis
sipation, and considered the possessor
of more than one suit of clothes q
combination of the debauchee and the
sybarite. This gentleman was mod
ern prototype of the todding old i'm
bccilc in the opera of "Chimes OF
Normandy" Ills life was made mis-
cradle by the fear that his carefully
boarded gains would be wrested from
him by some enterprising burglar. He
had no faith in burglar alarms, and a
private watchman was quite out of
the question. Should he keep q dog !?
He might, but dogs must eat, and
meat even for q dog cost money. Ha
an idea ! He began to practice howl
ing like a dog, and by dint of much
study he got canine cavatinas down
to a fine point. Whenever he heard
suspicious sounds in the neighborhood
he set up a bowling and barking fit to
frighten the moon into seeking seclu-
sion behind q cloud The suspicious
sounds would die away and the old
man would chuckle to himself in fiend-
ish glee and congratulate himself upon
ingenuity. This went on for several
months, until people in the neighbor-
hood were in mortal terror of old
what's-his-name's dog. The old fossil
was highly pleased at his success !;
but what was his surprise one morn
ing when an affable and urbane ennis
sary came to his door and demanded
immediate payment of his dog-tax for
three months.

The Story Of Peter.

1t was Sunday school exhibition
and the superintendent was showing
off the results of his labors to the par
ents and friends of the school. During
the exercise he asked the children who
could tell him anything about Peter.
No one answered. The question was
repeated several times, till finally q
little girl held up her hand.
"Well, my dear" said the superin-
tendent, "that's right. l am glad to
see there is one little girl who will put
these larger boys and girls to shame. "
The little girl came forward to the
platform, and was told to tell the
audience what she knew of Peter.
She put her finger in her mouth,
and, looking very smiling, said:
"Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater,
Had q wife and couldn't keep her,
Put her in q pumpkin shell,
And there he kept her very we'll"
Amid the roar that followed, she
hurried gayly to her seat.

Dangers Of Corpulence.

Intemperance in diet, indulgence in
the excessive use of alcoholic drinks,
too little bodily exercise in the open
air-these are the most important of
the causes which bring on corpulence
AS muscular exercise increases the
production of flesh, inaction leads to
an excessive deposit of fat. Alcohol
acts in q manner precisely similar to
that of fats, sugars and starches. 1t
interfercs with the destruction or COM
bustion of the fat-producing materials,
prevents them from undergoing COM
bustion, as it is more easily destroyed
by oxygen than they are. Certain
diseases, such as any interference with
the formation or development of the
red blood corpuscles, the oxygen car
riers, increase the disposition to the
deposit of fat. The oxygen may en-
ter the lungs, but without these car
riers it is unable to reach the tissue
+ where combustion ordinarily takes
place.
| The dangers of corpulence are many
fold. All diseases accompanied by
high fever are apt to follow an unus
ually malignant course in fat persons

Perhaps they don't know we are the
same epeople.' This last suggestion
turns out to be correct as Is proved 10y
the visible embarrassment Of Mr.. Da-
vis's guests on their arrival at the gate.
However, they resolve to make the
best of an awkward situation, and by
the most grave and respectful courtesy
succeeded in almost banishlng the un-
pleasant "reminiscences which every
now and then threatened TO overwhelm
their hostesses.
During luncheon the spokesman of
the morning, who is introduced by Mr..
Davis as Mr.. Walter Churchill, cap
tain of the yacht announces with un-
blushing mendacity that he had always
intended making Sodus bay the SIRENS
headquarters for the summer. His
hastily formed resolution is carried
out and, indeed, not only is Sodus
bay for the next two months headquar-
ters for the Siren, but CloYls cottage
proves headquarters for her crew, and
the result of this little arrangement Is
the following notice, which appears in
the society journals for Decsmber.
~ brilliant social event is about to
take place in Rochester, the occasion
being a double wedding in the family
of Mr.. James Dayis, the Misses Lily
andKate Davis espousing Messrs. Wal
ter and Harold Churchill OF Detroit.
1t is rumored, also, that match has
been arran ged between Miss Cecile
Chisholm, the pretty and vivacious
niece of Mr.. Davis, and Mr.. Will Car
leton,a estimable friend of the Messrs.
Churchill, who accompanied them on
their yachting trip this summer, Che

The heat developed in these alfecti ons
cannot be so readily lost by radiation
or conduction as in the lean. Tie
cold bath, the cold pack, and oil sorts
of cooling measures fail to readily re-
duce the temperature, and the fever is,
in ITSELF q serious source of danger.
The skin is constantly bathed in per-
spiration on slight exertion or when
the external temperature rises. Hence
skin diseases are common and often
intensely annoying among the corpu-
lent The breathing is interfered
with by the accumulated fats breath
lessness on exertion is common among
them. The frequency of perspirations
leaves the surface exposed to chilling
influences which cause coughs, colds,
bronchitis, and pneumonia. The over
loading of the heart with fat interteres
with its action, so that palpitations
and sudden faintness from partial fail
ure of this organ to do its duty are
not infrequent. The extra weight
that has to be carried entails muscular
exhaustion on exertion such as is not
felt by the thin person. The discom-
forts and dangers of obesity would fill
a much larger catalogue, but it is not
necessary to enumerate them all here.

PINKERTON CAUGHT THEM
All Five of the Express Robbers In
Custody.

1t is made known through the Pin
kerton detectives that they have cap
tured and fastened the evidence upon
five men, who were concerned in the
robbery of the Adams express car on
st. Louis and San Francisco Railroad
on the night Of October 25. thirty-six
miles from st. Louis. The most i'm
portant clue was obtained through the
Jim Cummings letters to st. Louis
paper, which were written by Fred
Witrock, who, with man named
Weaver, both engaged in business IN
Chicago, were the principals in the af'
fair. A portion OF the $6O,OOo stolen
was recovered from the Aye men. from
Witrock's wife and from an inn ocent
stranger, who had in good faith under
taken to hold $4, 500 for Wltrock. The
detectives refuse to say whether Ex'
press Messenger Fotheringham was
concerned in the crime.
